bending moment

I use a 3D 8-node brick element in modeling the retaining wall, this element give shear stresses at each face Txy, Tyz and Tzx.
what is the set of equations that convert these stresses into bending moment and hoop stresses?

I am sorry that I don't have an answer for your question. I am also trying to simulate a concrete joint with 3D-8node brick elements, but I have just started working with Opensees.

I would like to ask you a question. What kind of material are you using for your 8-node brick elements? Could you maybe help me, explaining me the input values for 3D Template Material for concrete Brick Elements? Or are you using Elastic Isotropic Material?
